I really don't care who California voters are consolidating with. Tom Steyer, who is perhaps slightly better than Xavier Becera. I voted for Katie Porter, the only good non third party option. Don't blame me for what happens next because I don't think voters are smart enough to elect her.

Katie Porter is by far the most qualified candidate for California Governor. She has experience, she fights money interests, she understands working class families struggles and she is progressive and sympathizes with those that society hates. She is a fighter unlike wimpy Xavier Becera Go Porter

I was honored to cast a vote for Katie Porter because a stupid 6 second clip is not what defines a person like seriously why are voters so soft? And specifically Democrat voters because Republicans have total Trump Impunity Complex, they do not care what Trump does they love the guy Go Katie Porter

If Xavier Becera and a Republican win the nomination that's so retarded because I don't like Xavier Becera. If California really can't handle a woman and will let a 6 second clip be an effective propaganda decoy then at least support Tom Steyer. Xavier Becera is sleepy Joe Biden all over again.

Atheists more likely to side with the Pope than self described "Catholics" in an unsurprising yet shocking new poll.

Thank you! I was completely unaware that the systematic phenom of exploiting Christianity for political and personal gain was recognized by political scientists and named. Thank you, again, for enlightening me.

The Trump word "panican" is a newspeak Orwellian word to prevent people from questioning authority.

Will "christopretensism" and linguistic relatives like "christopretenders" bypass the filters that automatically reject terms like Christian fascists, Christian Taliban and so forth, like Governor Walz calling Donald Trump and JD Vance weird bypassed filters and got under the skin? My guess is yes.

For those working in the field of psycholinguistics and framing, there's a new word that does some of the heavy lifting in countering Christian Nationalism and the like: christopretensism. Its meaning is instantly understood.

Christian Nationalism strikes again, as cults do.

the christianity is not christian, the nationalism is not national it is secessionist - they are not consistent with their self-chosen labels (which all other observers know to be false) - cult of liars

I introduced the Mental Health Justice Act in Congress to connect people experiencing a mental health crisis with trained professionals, not law enforcement. Mental illness is not a crime. We need to stop treating it like one. x.com/RepKatiePort...

By being socialist does that threaten fundamental morals?

Vote against every Republican and every corporate Democrat… Every. Single. One. 😎✨

About says it all. Professing Christ and living Christ are not the same. Talks cheap.

So they are going after humanities majors now as soon as I decided I wanted to switch from STEM to humanities @friendlyatheist.com www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBeELQwC/

just sayin.

Mainstream media should be covering Trump with fewer political reporters and more crime reporters.

We can’t sit any of these elections out, folks. Primary and general. This goes for local and state. We all have a role to play. Not voting isn’t an option anymore. Not voting is a vote for the enemy.

Google CEO tries to tell University students to love AI. They tell him to BOO off. This is what most people think of the hated AI, we don't want it.

Religious language is regularly being used in politics to justify corruption, inequality, or harm. Are most believers aware of their Faith, and by extension they themselves, are thus being exploited? Christianity is the politicians'power tool of choice, especially in the U.S.

Trump voters whine that they feel betrayed by Trump. Yet they vote for every candidate Trump endorses. Guess who keeps him in power?

Get out and vote today in Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Oregon and Pennsylvania! 🗳️

I’m spending almost $1,000 a month on groceries for 4 people. 2 of those people are children who eat breakfast and lunch at school 5 days a week. I shop at the commissary primarily. Life is entirely too expensive.

Christian Nationalism is a political ideology & it’s more extreme & violent adherents (MAGA) engage in acts of domestic terrorism.Christian Nationalism IS NOT the same as Christianity.It overlaps with white supremacy & nativism, assuming that "real" Americans are white & Christian. 🧵1/2

Mike Johnson is a featured speaker today at Trump's white Christian nationalist Rededicate 250 rally. On this day in 1954, the landmark Brown v. Board decision was a celebrated victory in fight for civil rights. White Christian nationalism is a racist movement. www.linkedin.com/posts/nancy-...

The thing that a lot of people do not understand is that “Christian Nationalism” is not by any means Christian.

As anyone in the checkout line knows, grocery prices are way up. In just one year: Beef prices are up 14.8% Vegetables are up 11.5% Coffee is up 18.5% The President promised to lower costs for families on Day One. He hasn't delivered.

I watched hundreds of criminals storm and ransack the capital live, now those muthafukas are getting paid. Meanwhile I'm spending hours budgeting for fruit, vegetables and crossing my fingers for ketchup because despite being disabled I get less and less SNAP while prices rise. FUCK THIS COUNTRY 🤬

Dear Decent Americans, please listen up. IF YOUR VOTES WERE NOT IMPORTANT , YOUR PRESENT GOVERNMENT WOULD NOT TRY TO STOP YOU FROM VOTING. Please tell your non voting friends and family that it is their civic duty to vote, people have died so that you could all vote.

Donald Trump requested a federal investigation into unsubstantiated claims that Maryland sent hundreds of thousands of “illegal” mail-in ballots to voters.

Horrified by the attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego today. The pattern of violence against our religious communities is beyond unacceptable — it must never be normalized. May the memories of the victims be a blessing and let us come together to pray for those affected.

Our next Governor must be prepared to protect our communities and fight back against such horrific acts of gun violence and Islamophobia. (2/2)

I’m horrified to hear about the shooting today at the Islamic Center of San Diego. All Californians, no matter what you look like or what faith you belong to, deserve to go to school, houses of workshop, and work without fearing for their lives. (1/2)

Propaganda convinced people who call themselves Christians to hate LGBTQ+ and hyper fixate on abortion instead of improving the world through socialism. "Look down not up at your oppressors". It's a classic decoy strategy.

Join us in a discussion On the problem of christopretensism www.democraticunderground.com/12223888!

And we can call the people in churches and the politicians "christopretenders." Sort of like Governor Walz calling Trump and Vance weird. I think it will get into heads in a different way than Christian hypocrites, fascists, etc.

The biggest problem with being an explorer is running out of places to explore especially if you want to be the first to ever explore an area but we already mapped the whole world.

I completed @ballotpedia.org’s Candidate Connection survey to share my vision and goals for California. You'll be able to see the responses on my profile soon!

Well the humanities are not good enough for capitalism so this regime wants to get rid of them. Christians are more humanities slanted in terms of the type of thinking and activities they do. STEM still has value to Christians but it is less relevant to what we care about. youtu.be/iA75Ac9lZHs?...

Do not use AI to be like a friend or date. Do not ask it questions about psychology or emotions. Do not ask it to generate any literature unless you are a competent reviewer that can criticize and correct it. Do not believe everything it says but take it to consideration as plausibly true.

The amount of AI fear mongering and hysteria I have seen from the left is so disappointing. Artificial Intelligence is good. I use artificial intelligence all the time and I think it helps me become smarter because it helps me learn, it is a tutor and an automator of mundane tasks. Use it freely.

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.

We have seen this before .... Polls that show Trump is down DOESN'T MEAN that "independent" voters will vote Dem or "GOP" voters are FIRMLY with Trump Don't believe the hype 🚨 Dems need to fight for every vote
